When outcome heterogeneously matters for selection: a generalized selection correction estimator
Reichert, Arndt; Tauchmann, Harald - In: Applied Economics 46 (2014) 7, pp. 762-768
The classical Heckman (1976, 1979) selection correction estimator (heckit) is misspecified and inconsistent, if an interaction of the outcome variable with an explanatory variable matters for selection. To address this specification problem, a full information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimator...

Response-based sampling for binary choice models with sample selection
Arezzo, Maria Felice; Guagnano, Giuseppina - In: Econometrics 6 (2018) 1, pp. 1-17
Sample selection models attempt to correct for non-randomly selected data in a two-model hierarchy where, on the first level, a binary selection equation determines whether a particular observation will be available for the second level (outcome equation). If the non-random selection mechanism...
